User manual for SECC Neoflux® auto-cleaning Cleanflow magnet 5
General
This manual contains information for the correct operation and maintenance of your device. It also
contains instructions for avoiding possible injury and serious damage and it allows a safe and as
trouble-free functioning of the product as possible. Read this manual thoroughly before putting the
device into operation, familiarise yourself with the operation and control of the device and follow all
instructions precisely.
•The data published in this manual is based on the available information at the time of delivery.
This is issued subject to later amendment.
•We retain the right to amend or modify the construction and/or model of our products at any time
whatsoever without any obligation to modify any previously supplied products accordingly.
Ferromagnetism
The working principle of the device rests on (Ferro)magnetism.
Ferromagnetism is the basic mechanism by which certain materials such as iron cobalt and nickel can
get magnetized when exposed to an externally applied magnetic field. Materials that remain magnetized
after the external magnetic field is removed, are called permanent magnets. Most magnetic materials
lose their magnetism after the external magnetic field is removed. Most alloys of iron, cobalt and nickel
are magnetic. However, some stainless steel alloys like AISI304 or AISI316 are only slightly magnetic.
Because in most cases it will be Fe parts that will be Ferro-magnetically influenced, we will use the term
‘Fe’ in this user manual when we mean ferromagnetic material

and/or purpose (see chapter “Intended use / user instructions”).
All parts that are subject to wear are excluded from the guarantee.
Remaining remarks / warnings
•Use the device only for the application for which it has been designed (see chapter “Intended use /
user instructions”).
•Use the device only when it is in technically perfect condition, and ensure that all protective hoods
or inspection covers, including all safety circuits, have been fitted and installed in the correct
manner.
•Ensure that device maintenance is appropriate and in accordance with the instructions provided in
this user manual.
•Any eventual faults, in particular those that may influence safety, should be attended to immediately
and remedied before renewed operation. Should you, after estimating the risks of an unsolved fault,
still think it is safe to keep the device into operation, then warn the operators and maintenance staff
of these faults and the danger(s) caused by these faults.

Delivery
General
Check the shipment immediately on delivery for:
˗Possible damage and/or shortcomings as a result of transport. If so, ask the transporter to draw up
a transport damage report.
˗Completeness of the delivery/deliveries, the absence of anything (additionally) ordered.
Always immediately contact GOUDSMIT magnetic systems in the event of any damage
and/or mistaken delivery.
Identification plate
On the device you will find an identification plate as pictured below. Information on this plate is of
great importance in case of service. That is why we advise to maintain this plate on the device at all

ATEX Markings (if applicable)
When the equipment is suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) the type plate will
feature an Ex Marking specifying the environment for which the equipment is suitable (gas or dust), the
specific device category and other criteria that the equipment satisfies.
•Ex marking example dust: II 1/2D Ex h T105°C Da/Db
•Ex marking example gas: II 1/2G Ex h IIB T4 Ga/Gb
Explanation:
II explosion group (I is underground mining, II is other)
G/D Type of ATEX environment G(as) or D(ust)
1/2D Equipment Category (Ignition protection level: 1=very high, 2=high, 3 = normal)
or 1/2G
[inside device / outside device]
h Type of Ex protection
c = constructional safety
t = protection by enclosure
h = non-electrical equipment (protection method not specified further)
T105°C Maximum surface temperature for dust atmosphere
T4 Temperature class for gas atmosphere
IIB Gas group where the equipment is suitable for
Da/Db Equipment Protection Level (EPL).
or Ga/Gb
[Da inside device / Db outside device]
Ta Ambient temperature range; only displayed when the range deviates
from the standard temperature range for ATEX of -20 … +40°C
If the device is externally certified, then the ATEX certificate number is added to the type plate. Next to
the CE mark the identification number of the Notified Body that certified our ATEX quality assurance
system is displayed.

In case the equipment contains no ‘own ignition sources’ and therefore is not under scope of the ATEX
Directive, then the equipment will not get an EX marking and wil be supplied with a Statement of
Exclusion, in which this is stated and also the EX zones are listed in which it can be safely used.
ATEX explosive zone measures
•If the device has been ordered for use in a potentially explosive area, make sure that no higher
surface temperature arises then permitted by ATEX.
•The product temperature may not exceed 60°C.
•For ATEX Dust environment:
oThe ignition temperature of the dust must be greater than 157°C.
oThe smouldering temperature of a dust layer must be higher than 180°C.
oNo dust layers thicker than 5 mm may accumulate on the equipment.
•For ATEX Gas environment:
oThe occurring gasses or vapours must be in temperature class T4, T3, T2 or T1.
oThe occurring gasses must have an ignition temperature higher than 150°C.
The ATEX marking on the Goudsmit identification plate only applies to the product produced by
Goudsmit Magnetics.
•The ATEX certified magnetic device requires additional purchase parts to be certified to the ATEX
Directive. This includes control units, connection box(es), switch(es), sensor(s) and pneumatic
parts, etc. Make sure that these are fitted by qualified personnel!
•If the device is placed in storage or has a longer standstill, make sure the device is emptied and
cleaned.
•The device must be grounded. The electrical resistance to earth must be below 1 MΩ. If a gasket is
used between the device and the larger installation, provide a means for equalization of potential
electrostatic charges with a minimum electrical resistance to the installation of 25 Ω.
This can be done by applying a braided bonding cable or other means.
•No paint or coatings may be applied on the inner surface of the product chute.
•On the outside of the equipment no insulating paints or coatings may be applied with a thickness
exceeding 2 mm.
•All screw connections inside the device must be secured against loosening.
The ATEX purchase parts are provided with their own ATEX markings.
Make sure no particles > 10 mm are present in the product flow. These can damage
the magnet or extractor bars or cause impact sparks.
If necessary install a mechanical filter (sieve) before the separating equipment!

Safety
Regularly check that all warning pictograms are still present and legible, and clean if necessary.
Make sure that new pictograms are applied at their correct locations if they have been lost or
damaged.
General
The device is provided with safeguards where necessary. Make sure every person who comes in contact
with the device, wears adequate personal protection (overalls, safety glasses, hearing protectors, helmet,
steel-toed safety shoes etc.).
Areas of the device considered dangerous are marked with warning pictograms.
If the device remains easily accessible to persons, then extra safety precautions (e.g. fencing) must be
installed. When safeguards are not possible, make sure clear instructions are given to people using the
device.
Danger of gas and dust explosions
If this device is made according to ATEX category 1/2D or 1/2G (acc. to ATEX equipment directive
2014/34/EU) it can be used in the corresponding zones. See the chapters about ATEX markings and
measures for details. The Ex category is then indicated on the identification plate.
Make sure that the equipment is suited for the correct ATEX environment (gas or dust) and has
the right equipment category for your application.
Danger –gas or dust explosion!
Also check if the identification plates of mounted parts show the correct Ex-category for the Ex
zone in which the device will be used.
